Salmon Festival Line-Up Announced

The line-up for the 26th annual Exploits Valley Salmon Festival has been announced, with several acts returning to the province approximately three months after visiting for the 2010 Juno?Awards.
Acts set to play the festival include: headliner Three Days Grace, Matthew Good, Faber Drive, Classified, Doc Walker, Sloan and Matt Hornell and the Diamond Minds.
The line-up was announced today by chairperson for this year's festival and town councilor with the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor, Anne Blackmore.
"This year's festival will not disappoint," Blackmore stated in a follow-up news release. "We anticipate that this year's concert will be one of the best ever. The amount of talent at the concert is extraordinary. This is the first year we have had six imported bands, all of which have a unique sound and style making this year the most diverse lineup yet."
The 2010 Salmon Festival will run July 15 to July 19, with the main concert day being Saturday, July 17.
Discounted early bird tickets, at $49.50 each, go on sale Friday, June 4 and will be available at select North Atlantic Retail Outlets and Orangestore locations across the province until Canada Day. They are also available by phone at 1-877-585-9762 or online at: www.salmonfestival.com.
After that date, any remaining tickets will be sold at $59.50 or, at the gate on the day of the concert, at $69.50.

Really? Wow so disappointed again in our inability to get big talent. Look at the Cavendish PEI concert line up for example now compare to this. Maybe we can bring it some real concert promoters to NL ? Very sad!

What a horrible line up. All these bands should be filler bands while the headlining bands set up! Maybe the cheaper the bands they get, the more money they put in their pockets. Too bad they wont get the ticket sales to make any money!

This years festival will not disappoint? Well, once again i'm disappointed with the Salmon Festival lineup. I haven't heard of most of those bands. The organizers of this festival need to get their act together and get some real talent. I certainly won't be wasting my money on a ticket.

I hate to say this, but I live at home in nearby Lewisporte during the summer and once again, this year's lineup is not worth wasting gas to get there. Just because the bands are imported and diverse it doesn't mean a successful festival.

I attend MUN in St. John's during the school year and I'd rather see a super star act like The Dave Matthews Band headline the festival and fill the rest of the lineup with great local acts such as Hey! Rosetta and Grammercy Riffs ... Do that and you'll get your 35,000 people.

Donny Dooley....I see the special ed class got out early again today heh? You have to be the most brutal person who ever lived. No wonder, look where you are from. Your father, if you ever find out who he is, must be proud of you!

Come on guys ,you need a major headliner.There are lots big acts touring North America,Iron Maiden,Scorpions etc. You are only short changing yourselves with these middle of the road acts. Build it and they will come.

Quick question - 03/31/2015

A Corner Brook woman was upset recently when she had her seal skin purse confiscated by customs officials when entering the United States — she was unaware of a U.S. ban on seal product entering that country. Are you aware of the ban?
